EXIT INPUT and END INPUT keywords

EXIT INPUT statement can be located in any of the INPUT control clauses. When 4GL encounters this statement, if performs the following actions:

• All the statements between the EXIT INPUT and END INPUT statements are skipped
• The form is deactivated
• The statements that follow the END INPUT keywords are executed

AFTER INPUT clause is ignored, if the EXIT INPUT statement is executed.

 

END INPUT keywords mark the end of the INPUT statement. They are required if the INPUT statement contains at least one INPUT control clause and should be placed after the last INPUT control clause.

 

If you use the INPUT statement independently, you can omit END INPUT keywords.

If you use INPUT within any dialog block (e.g., MENU ... END MENU), END INPUT keywords are required.
